Well, I made a decision last night...
I bit the bullet and picked up the amp I had wanted to get.

At practice last night... amazing... it cuts through, it cleans up, and it has such a musical quality to it... plus it worked great for my harmonica playing...

The band loved it last night... although they made fun of me for changing amps so quickly.
mostly, I just change the volume controls or change pups for different shades of clean/dirty
This is all that matters. You got what you wanted and it works well for you and in your band's setting. Enjoy.
I don't mean to upset people with trying of different gear. I guess people do get frustrated with me and my fickle tastes, but I don't trade gear to upset people.
I am just sharing the excitement of new gear...
sparking conversation,
etc.
No one was upset, especially at you, just making sure your doing it for the right reason and that you see the value in what you have before you make a decision to change. Also, that you take the time to make a decision that gets you the best product at the best value and it makes you happy in the end. Which you achieved.
So please, do keep sharing your excitment of the gear and how it works in your new band setting and the music.
Killer amp... made we want to keep practicing all night...
I do that anyways though.
One of my good friends as a Z and it is awesome but they are deafly loud. He had to put a hotplate in front of it to dial it down a little. He had the prescription head.
One of my favorite amps too House. You won't be disapointed, did you sell the DR or are you keeping it too?
I know what you mean about Brad Paisley...
When I look at amps, the thing to do... just listen... does it sound musical... does the tone appeal to you...
the amp is so rich harmonically... is great...
even with more gain on the preamp the chords have this shimmer to them...
I was able to cop some Hiwatt Live at Leeds tone on there too, it has that agressive and fast distortion quality that you here on that record.
That's one of the amps I'm considering trading the Orange for. Z certainly knows how to build a musical amplifier. The individual clarity is on par with the best I've heard including Matchless.
very musical, again I use that word... but very warm and sweet at all levels.
I have a track workout tonight, but I will run extra fast so I can get home and plug in...
Yeah, it's funny. There is such a huge and noticable difference between those amps and what else is out there. You can hear it cut through the mix over an entire store of shredders. Sweet individual note clarity.
I like the Orange for the Orange thing... if that makes sense. No other amps can get that tone.
Same thing with Dr. Z's they have a unique timber to the tone... it's not Vox, it's not Fender, not Marshall, not Orange, not Hiwatt, not Brand XYZ.
It has its own place. The build quality and warranty with the Z's are great too... you wouldn't go wrong with a Maz NR...
I actually want the one like you'res with the reverb. I miss it. I'd like to have the effects loop option though as well because occasionally I like to have delay.
So, that makes the amp around $1600 new... ie expensive.
You see those pop up on ebay from time to time...
I would keep an eye on that.
The verb is great on the Z... not as deep as a fender reverb amp, but still gets pretty wet.
I am still waiting for the EH wiggler to show up. I think that will go well in front of my amp.
That reminds me... do you have any use for a EH Holy Grail Reverb? It's used, but in good shape and I have the box.
yeah actually, how much you want for it?
I don't know. I'm not really in the market at the moment. I'm waiting for Keeley to deliver me some new patch cables right now. Go ahead and post it on Ebay if you want. I'm kind of unloading right now myself.
Let me know if you are interested... otherwise I will check with some other people.
well, damn, that's real fair.
I don't feel like messing with ebay to be honest. I could just keep it... but I could use the $65 to get some misc stuff, strings, picks, a new A harmonica...
well, I'll probably get it then. It's a fairly decent reverb if I remember correct it's been a while, I do need a verb. I'll PM you when I get home.
Let me know. I will be here until around 6:00 pm Central, then I won't be back until tommorow morning... so don't worry if I don't reply right away.
It is a good reverb, but if I have reverb on my amp, I don't need an extra reverb unit.
Plus I am trying to scale back... adding a tremolo/vibrato pedal means something should go... maintain the balance.
